Struggling actors Sam and Mark find solace in their isolation as they stage Hamlet in Grand Theft Auto Online (2022), battling grieving individuals as they connect with William Shakespeare. Grand Theft Hamlet is a funny, moving, and inspiring documentary that will have you hooked just reading the premise. your interest The documentary takes place in January 2021, and the UK is still in lockdown due to COVID 19; To pass the time, two actors Sam Crane and Mark Ostwein decide to play Grand Theft Auto Online. While playing the game, they find an almost inaccessible area of the game, an amphitheater called The Vinewood Bowl (inspired by the real Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles), which serves as a venue for concerts and events. . Using this discovery, a humorous idea was born – a digital production of Hamlet. They decide to perform a few monologues from the game, which leads to some hilarious moments when they are interrupted by other players who open fire on them, so they shoot back, and then a SWAT team quickly arrives on the scene to add to the chaos. . . The funniest part is that he is still doing his line as he shoots at the police. The entire documentary is part of a video game, and footage from the game is recorded. But the funny idea turns into a serious project. The plan is to do an entire performance of Hamlet using GTA, create an online audition for people to get in, rehearse it, block it, and eventually broadcast the event live. But it comes with challenges and difficulties, such as organizing a production in the world of a video game. Whether it is problems with internet connectivity, availability, or other players interrupting the attempt, everything becomes a huge headache and burden for everyone involved. The funniest part of the documentary is the ridiculousness of it all. There was a lot of laughter from everyone, including me. But it struck me how personal and strangely thought-provoking it was. There comes a point where they wonder why they’re doing this and why this stupid idea is causing so much stress. Some of them have families to support and others have jobs. But for some, it gives them meaning, motivation and a therapeutic escape. So this nonsense gives someone a reason to keep going. Or one part where an actor who is transgender finds a deep connection to the play and the character of Hamlet because when they came out to their family members as transgender, they realized that they didn’t know their true characters until they were ugly. True. They become more distant than before. Shakespeare’s text is still relevant and what amazes me is the different interpretations that people can get from the play. Watching it made me think about certain things. Yes, Grand Theft Hamlet made me rethink things. After the screening, we had a quick Q&A with Mark Oosterveen. I’ve never been to a Q&A before and I’m glad I stayed because I learned so much more about this doctor. Mark said something compelling about his acting style, which is a mix of puppetry (controlling his avatar in a game) and voice work (using a headset microphone to chat online). But what’s even more crazy and surreal is that the Royal Shakespeare Company contacted them asking if they had a live recording so they could show it to younger people and get them interested in Shakespeare. Not bad Overall rating: The wildest and most amazing documentaries.
